What happened
Meta said on Wednesday, in its third-quarter earnings release, that it will issue a new class of non-voting stock to fund AI projects, potential acquisitions and employee compensation, with trading planned to begin in 2027. In the same report, the company narrowed its 2025 capital spending forecast to $135 billion to $145 billion, raising the low end and keeping the top end unchanged from the prior $130 billion to $145 billion range. CFO Susan Li said the new share class will broaden the company's financing tools and give it flexibility to invest in AI-driven businesses.
